As the owner of a rescue dog who was born as a stray with issues that needed surgery, let me reee a bit here.
But yeah, this is one of my big issues with surrogacy. Basically playing Character Creator with your baby. I mean, it is technically a service you are paying for. What if the product you get is not the exact one you ordered?
Sure, you can say said people signed a paper that says "if kid is not to your specs exactly, tough luck, biatch", but we are talking about humans. Ones who thing ordering couture babies is a good idea. Some of them will probably get over it, but be honest, do you think some Plastic Karen or Homo It Boy will just accept the kid not fitting their curated life?
Without any money changing hands? Maybe. That is the furthest I maaaay think is okay.
The moment money is involved, it becomes human trading and I am against that. You can't purchase a human being. You can't order a child being made for yourself.
(I'm also disgusted by the people doing the buying when they pretend they are so nice for paying. Like ooooh, the woman "profits so much, it's such a good deal for here, we are good because she is being compensated". Not how this works.)

Surrogacy should be a last resort for people who can't otherwise conceive and the only information that matters should be the lack of genetic diseases

In normal peoples surrogacy it's a volunteer with the medical bills being paid by the people requesting the surrogacy.
Only weird rich elites get to "order" a baby
Why is it a matter of significance that some people can't conceive? Deal with it the way people throughout all of human history did.
It's as if people think that having children is some sort of human right, just like avoiding them is a human right.
Because humans use science to overcome nature you weirdo.
Good of you to come out in support of 'gender affirming care'.
